Anh Loc and Aibanese,


Thank you for sharing the KhaiMinh’s websites with us, Anh Loc. Please pass on our admiration to the attendees and organizers of Khai Minh school reunion, and please let them know that their efforts have set such a high record for the rest of us to look up to.


I’ve spent some times surfing through both of the websites, finally. I love the clear layout and design that led me surfed effortlessly from pages to pages. The sides are filled with huge amounts of black and white color of the old photos. My first impression was everything stood still, through time, including the young-faces of kids who seemed so ready to squeeze every moments of joys out of school-activities. I also love the touches of the old water-marks on some photos, as my imagination went wide, I keep thinking that they must be once hidden somewhere deep in the tiny bag of a little girl while she was attempting to cross the vast ocean in a wooden boat. The contents of those photos told stories, so as the photos themselves. Through them, I saw a clear reflecting image of my own childhood in Vung Tau, a little town, perhaps much smaller than Nha Trang, but it did share the same spirit of a place where everybody seemed to know and care about everybody else. And I believe that unique quality was the key and also the vital factor to the success of the websites and the school reunion of Khai Minh.


For me, the KhaiMinh’s websites are well worth the time I spent on surfing and it is highly recommended. 


James

Mr. (James) Nhon Vi Vuong was the original creator of aibanese.com for (“AI BAN”) Minh Vien High School (越南岸鸣远中学).  Currently, he’s still maintaining that beautiful & excellent website.

Interestingly, Jame’s late wife and our  webmaster’s wife went to the same school in Vietnam (not the same class though) and they are distance relatives..
